AQUA 40.00 Vario and Vario PLUS
Precise Moisture Analysis Made Simple
Downloads
Product description
The AQUA 40.00 Vario combines the trusted Karl Fischer titration method with dynamic headspace technology, offering a wide range of exciting applications. It enables accurate moisture determination in solids, semi-solid samples, oils, and highly viscous substances.
Sample preparation is quick and straightforward:
the sample is sealed in a vial and precisely tempered in the headspace oven. A closed-loop system with dry carrier gas then flows over the sample, transporting the extracted moisture completely into the measuring cell, where the analysis is performed using Karl Fischer titration.
Your advantages: No complex sample preparation required
- Weigh the sample into a headspace vial and seal it
- Place the vial into the device (manually or automatically)
- Start the measurement – that’s it
Fast, clean, and efficient – the AQUA 40.00 Vario delivers maximum precision with minimal effort.
